Wow – where to start. If you want to hike in the city, go to any bike store and get a copy of the Denver Bicycle Touring Club map. Highline, Cherry Creek and Bear Creek are some of my favorites. Do keep the dog on a fairly short leash, bring a poop bag, and listen for bikes. Nothing worse than zipping along at 15 miles an hour and see a dog on one side and the owner on the other with a leash between them.

If you want more mountain hiking, try Jeffco Open Space. They have dozens of great hiking trails from moderate to steep, but again on leash please. Http://jeffco.us/openspace/index.htm

My favorite are the Boulder Off Leash parks. Your dog must be obedience trained and have a special tag but Boulder has miles of great trails where you can legally walk off leash with the dog. Http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3051&Itemid=411

First…YES…my advice IS to have your kids/family stay away from prostitutes, gambling (well too much!), druggies(?), and majorly drunk people!!!

You would typically only encounter those people within the casino bars where any ‘working girls’ typically hang and when/where you’ll find any ‘excessively’ drunk people (bars/nightclubs are also in that proximity…but you, or at least your ‘young children’ will either be asleep, in your room, or somewhere else other than the casino area at that time anyway: clubs open at 10pm at the earliest!)
The ‘cards’ that are handed out along the sidewalks of Las Vegas Blvd (the strip) are easy to intercept. The private parts covered up in bikinis/stars/etc and 99.?% of the time are only handed out to ADULTS or large kids that look close to 18. They don’t want parents punching them out, or legal problems (The mayor’s been fighting them legally for years!).

“!” have been raising two very moral young boys in Henderson/Las Vegas just fine (I’ve lived here for nearly 20 years!). Granted we don’t hang out in casinos though we have gone to their pools, shows, shopping centers, Secret Garden, Gameworks, Circus Circus, etc…all the places you would be going. You will be fine.

I WOULD say, avoid the front of the Riviera hotel, but you have no reason to go there, nothing kid oriented at that property at all. (It has sculptures of women’s backsides sticking out of the exterior wall, advertising their ‘Crazy Girls’ show.) and you should probably avoid the Mandalay Bay’s restaurant/dining section (the furthest side) where there is a sculpture of a woman’s bust sticking out of the wall (many tourists, men AND women, pose next to it). Beyond that, and trying to sneak them into a nightclub/bar…you should be fine EVERYWHERE ELSE in town.

Next…I’ll start with clearing up the ‘false’ info others have given out…

*****Drinking is legal, just as everywhere else in America,..only for those over 21, NOT in ANY vehicle…and NOT in a backseat(!) of any vehicle. It is also illegal, just as with any other city in the USA, to be excessively intoxicated/drunk in public. The ONLY place walking down the street while drinking is allowed…is along the strip between the resort properties (The Strip)…anywhere else, ILLEGAL.
*****Prostitution is NOT LEGAL in Las Vegas…not even within Clark County which contains Las Vegas & “the Strip”. (The closest county where prostitution is legal is 45 mins -1 hour away).
*****Circus Circus is NOT the only hotel setup with stuff for kids…

Beyond that…
Vegas has TONS of things for kids…depending on their ages…here’s a LIST of “Family Friendly Stuff” in Vegas….

Shark Reef (Mandalay Bay) (again, watchout for the wall sculpture, it’s easy to block once you know it’s there…LOL)
The Lion King show/play (Mandalay Bay)
Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo (Flamingo Hotel across from Caesar’s)
“The magic and tigers of Rick Thomas”…(Sahara)
The Secret Garden…(Siegfried & Roy! So LIVE dolphins, tigers, lions, and more!)
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas…(Venetian)
The rides at the Stratosphere, for the bravest amongst you!
Visiting the Hoover Dam as a family is an excellent idea…(Hoover Dam, Boulder City, NV)
and OF COURSE…experiencing Circus Circus..their Adventure Dome rides, shows etc are a great fun time!

Extra/Bonus ideas…
***Gregory Popovich’s Comedy Pet Theater (Starts around $10/ticket…very funny, trained dogs and Cats!…that he has rescued from shelters!) We have booked this show for a corporate event of all adults (Vet industry!) and they loved it and were Amazed!)…(Planet Hollywood)
***Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden…(Mirage Hotel) The white tigers (two new tiger cubs!), white Lions(!), dolphins, etc should not be missed by any kids visiting Vegas!
***Don’t forget the pools…the only place(s) that can beat Vegas Hotel Pools…are ‘some’ water parks..and some properties here have up to 5 pools inter-laced with lazy rivers (bring your own inflatable tubes/rafts and save some good bucks…don’t blow them up till your in the pool area, easier to carry and won’t count as luggage on a plane! LOL!!!
***Gameworks for kids into video games and ‘party food’ stuff (Just outside of the MGM Grand)
***Coca Cola world next to the M&M world! (Just outside of the MGM Grand)
&
***”IF” you are a “daring” group of family members…you could try “Vegas Indoor Skydiving”…it’s NOT CHEAP…but a VERY Unique experience!
